White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany challenged the media on Friday to demand answers from former Obama administration officials about their reasons for spying on the Trump campaign in 2016 and unmasking former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

“Why did the Obama administration use opposition research, funded by a political organization and filled with foreign dirt, to surveil members of the Trump campaign?” she asked, referring to the so-called Steele dossier that led to FBI surveillance.

“I mean, this is extraordinary, and you know if they were political appointees in the Trump administration, I can guarantee you, I’d have questions in my inbox right now,” she said. “But apparently Obama’s spokesperson does not.”
